And... I'm back from my holidays. With a healthier suntan and new ideas on the shelves. I'm really curious about what you have been cooking or baking lately. There are so many unread posts in my Feedly you wouldn't believe (food-related and others). I'll try to write this post quickly, so I can get updated. Today I'm suggesting a cabbage salad. Cabbage is so healthy and tasty, there's no reason why we should have it only in "wintery" dishes. With just a few touches, it is possible to turn this simple salad into a favourite dish at home. I like it by itself, but you can serve it as a side dish to grilled meat.Ingredients:

Open the egg into a ramekin. Heat a saucepan with water and when it is hot pour the egg into it. Let it poach for 4 minutes. Take it out and reserve.

Thinkly slice the cabbage.Place a frying pan with the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, stir for a minute, and then add the chopped garlic cloves. Finally, add the cabbage, stir for 30 seconds, and remove from the heat.Pour the lemon piri-piri hot sauce and stir. Serve it on a plate or a ramekin. Sprinkle with bacon. I used 2 spoons of Hormel's Real bacon bits. The smoky flavour adds a nice touch to the buttery lemony cabbage. Finally, top it with the poached egg.Enjoy!

Welcome back! And great idea for a salad. I'm guilty of mainly cooking cabbage during cooler weather, but this time of the year there's such great cabbage available that it's a shame to use it for nothing but slaw. Really nice recipe - thanks.
